That paper production of the staple
crop in Laurens as recorded last week
seems to have been signally Ineffective
in ?hearing" the market.

legislative material to the voters ol

The Connomara appears at the head
of the group of new cotton mills now
being organized in South Carolina.
The fact that the mill industry is tak
ing on new Ufo in this State has been
the subject of editorial writers and
special correspondents for several
days past. In this respect, at least,
Laurens is sharing the advantages of
some good advertising.
AS TO CITY DHL!YKitY.
According to the postoftlce receipts
for the past year, Laurens maintains
her position in the class of towns en
titled to city delivery. However, he
fore the postodlco department will
undertake to install the system here,
the streets must he named and proper
ly marked ami the houses of the city
renumbered. This work has been de
layed, for satisfactory reasons, we
Slippose, hut i! is understood that the
material is here now and that the
city will take up and complete the
work at an early day.
Sometime during the past year an
Official Inspection of the city was made
by a representative of the postodlco
department relative to the installa
tion of the city delivery service, hut
this official made an unfavorable rec
ommendation for the reason that the
town had not complied with the re
quirements in the matter of posting
the streets and numbering tin? resi
dences and business houses of the!
city.
The mayor on Monday assured The
Advertiser that as soon as some fur
ther preliminaries could be arranged
the work would proceed.
CORN CLUB VoYS RESPOND.
in response to the Invitation of The
Advertiser. Tillman and I rby Cole,
twin brothers of Cross Hill, and mem
bers of the Laurens County Hoys' Corn
club, ti ll in the following letter how

prize corn patch:
"To the Editor of The Advertiser:
Having noticed that The Advertiser
desires to publish letters from mem
bers of (ho Boys' Corn club about tho
cultivation and prospects of our prize
acres planted in corn, we write to say
that we have a patch of an acre and
a half that is very fine. If you have
ever seen a cane break on Saluda riv
er, we have one on up-land.
"The land used for our prize patch
V.'OH in cotton last year. In the spring
we broke it with a two-horse plow,
about seven inches deep, and harrow
ed It with a disc harrow. On April
27th laid the rows off, six feet apart
with a middle busier, followed with
h sub-soil. Dropped corn twelve Inch,
es apart or as near as could be done,
nnd covered with a double foot plow.
When corn was up harrowed it with
a 'Little Joe' harrow. Two weeks lat
er run around it with small plow. Let
it stand a week when two hundred
pounds of 8-3-3 guano was applied
and the middles were plowed out. The
folowlng week run around It again and
applied two hundred pounds more of
guano WblCh make:: four hundred
pounds of 8-:'.-:i fertilizer used and
which cost $f?.20. This corn was given
two plowlngs 'out and out'. To see
what a?. excellent showing our patch
has of viming the prize, you should
visit us and take a look for yourself.
Now, we hope other members of the
dub will tell us through The Adver
tiser something about their farming
operations." I
